The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Chapter 27 Du Mingxian's Half-Truth, Half-False Confession

Ling Silang didn't respond, and his expression remained unreadable, as if he was waiting for Du Mingxian to continue.

"Before we married, Du Mingwei pushed me into the river. It felt like I died and went to another world where everyone is equal..." Du Mingxian said what she could.

However, she didn't reveal her identity as an assassin, only saying that she was a security guard, protecting others, just like bodyguards today.

"Later I died, and when I woke up again, I was told that I had slept for a day and a night. At that time, Du Mingwei was making a fuss about wanting to be married off."

Whether Ling Silang believed him or not, he asked, "Is being someone's bodyguard very hard?"

"No, I had enough freedom there. There was gender equality. Women could do what men could do. Girls could go to school and become officials."

Ling Silang's pupils dilated in shock, and he stared at Du Mingxian for a long time without saying a word.

Du Mingxian thought she had frightened him with her words and was wondering whether she should say a few words of comfort when she heard Ling Silang say, "It is my good fortune to be able to marry you."

"Aren't you afraid that I'm a wandering ghost, and that I'm just lying to you?"

"I trust my intuition. You have no ill intentions towards your family. On the contrary, you help your family and want to make their lives better."

Du Mingxian seemed to see stars in Ling Silang's eyes, so bright, and this feeling of being trusted was wonderful.

After pondering for a while, she took an apple out of her spatial storage.

Ling Silang was startled this time. His wife suddenly produced an apple – such a magic trick! "Wife, you…"

Fruits were a rare commodity in this dynasty, and only wealthy or official families could afford to eat them. Ordinary people could not get them. Ling Silang had eaten one because Fang Daru gave it to him.

"Do you believe I have a Qiankun bag?"

"letter."

"Haha, then go back and tell your mother that she won't let me go into the mountains, and I'm bored staying at home."

"it is good."

Seeing that Ling Silang agreed, Du Mingxian gave him the apple.

Ling Silang held the food but didn't eat it. "Wife, do you have a knife? Let's cut it up and eat it together."

Du Mingxian glanced back at him and said, "Why bother with all this trouble?" Then she produced another apple in her hand.

She wasn't afraid to tell Ling Silang these things. The Ling family was just an ordinary family, and no matter how smart Ling Silang was, he was just a scholar at the moment. She wasn't afraid even if he had any ideas.

If Ling Silang dares to reveal her secret, then she will kill him. It would be good for her to go out and see the world.

I'm still here now, but only because I miss my mother.

After the two finished eating the apples, Ling Silang asked again, "Did something urgent happen at your family's home that day? Did anyone give you a hard time?"

The slap mark on my wife's face that day must have been from an elder.

"It's nothing serious, just that my father got hurt, and they want me to give them money."

Ling Silang shook his head, "When my wife left, she didn't take an oxcart. She walked to Kaoshan Village and then to the county. It was a very rushed journey."

"You believe I can fly?"

"letter."

Du Mingxian found it amusing to see him nod without hesitation, but seeing his pale face, she didn't tease him any further. She didn't plan to give him the spatial spiritual water yet; she would wait and see.

“We don’t have any money at home. I want to start a business, but you’re still studying. What do you think about splitting up the family and having the older brothers run the business while we brainstorm ideas and wait to collect the profits? Is that a feasible plan?”

Ling Silang had never done business before, but he was a smart scholar. "None of my elder brothers have ever done business before, so I'm afraid they don't understand this matter."

"No one is born knowing everything. Anyone can learn anything if they are willing to learn."

Ling Silang agreed, "Since my wife has her own ideas, I will speak to the family once it's decided."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat you?"

“I am a weak scholar, and there is nothing in my family that my wife would covet. What could my wife possibly do to me? Besides, I am your husband. Whatever you want to do, I should support you.”

Du Mingxian was happy after hearing this. Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, she was happy now and began to mutter softly, "You should support me. You should learn to do things on your own."

She spoke softly, thinking that Ling Silang hadn't heard her.

Although Ling Silang was in poor health, his hearing was excellent, so he heard it and his ears turned slightly red.

The atmosphere between the two was somewhat different on their way home.

When Ling's mother saw her son return, she was overjoyed. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll have your third sister-in-law cook for you."

"Mother, we've already eaten," Ling Silang hurriedly said.

Seeing that the mother and son were about to talk, Du Mingxian quietly left and went back to her room.

No one knows what Ling Silang said to his mother, but the next morning, while they were eating, his mother said, "Fourth brother's wife, you like going into the mountains. I've thought about it, and as long as you can guarantee your safety, you can go if you want."

"Thank you, Mother." Du Mingxian was very happy and turned to look at Ling Silang.

Ling Silang smiled, and there was even a hint of doting in his eyes.

Du Mingxian glanced at him briefly before turning back to eat, not noticing the change in Ling Silang. However, Ling's mother noticed the difference in her son. Before, this son rarely showed any emotion except when studying; now…

It seems the son really likes this daughter-in-law.

Du Mingxian wanted to go into the mountains today, but she was busy cooking and had a lot of things to do at home, so she didn't have time.

However... Zhou Shi approached her today and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, I'll go with you to cut grass. Take me with you when you go into the mountains tomorrow."

Du Mingxian, who originally wanted to enter the space, was unable to do so and could only stay outside with Zhou Shi, obediently cutting grass.

The next day, after Du Mingxian had breakfast, she was about to go into the mountains when Zhou Shi hurriedly followed behind, carrying a basket on her back. The two of them went into the mountains one after the other.

Zhou was, after all, a rural woman who usually did manual labor, so she could walk on mountain paths without any problems.

Du Mingxian has been practicing in the space these days. Right now, she has pebbles in her hand and throws them at pheasants and rabbits. Some hit the rabbits and they fall to the ground, while others still run away after being hit.

The main problem is that her body is severely depleted. Even though she drinks spiritual spring water every day, her strength is still not as good as it was in her previous life, and she needs to train more.

Zhou was overjoyed. As she tossed the fallen rabbit into her basket, she muttered, "Fourth sister-in-law's rabbit was too fat. It was obviously a male rabbit. It was strong, so it didn't fall down even after we hit it. Let's continue with the next one."

Du Mingxian was also happy and followed Zhou Shi forward, but the end result was... the two of them fought quite a bit.

The baskets in the village are quite large, and the two of them hadn't counted them yet. There were so many things in the baskets, mostly pheasants and rabbits.

When Zhou said she couldn't fit more, Du Mingxian turned around and realized that she had been so focused on practicing that she had forgotten not to hit too many. She was sure she would be nagged when she got back.

My second sister-in-law was with me, so even if she wanted to take some into her space, she couldn't.

But when did she become so lucky? Or was it because the mountains of Dahe Village were teeming with wild animals that she was able to hunt so many so easily?

"Fourth sister-in-law, you are really amazing."

"Second sister-in-law, if we take all this stuff back, Mom will scold us, won't she?"
